Cady captures the sights and emotions of America, from the Pacific Northwest (\"Jeremiah\"), to the streets of San Francisco (\"The Lady With the Blind Dog\"), to the Midwest-heartland (\"Halloween 1942\"), along the roads and highways in between (\"The Ghost of Dive Bomber Hill\"), and back into the history of the American Southeast (\"The Time That Time Forgot\"). The stories that make up Ghosts of Yesterday are detailed and realistic portraits of the world that, despite (and perhaps because) of their authenticity, manage to convey a sense of wonder and fantastic, where anything is possible. The characters and places that Cady brings to life demonstrate clearly why he is one of the most versatile and respected writers today... His stories will move you, and change the way you look at the world.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9781597805278","publication_date":"20131210","publisher":"Night Shade Books","slug":"ghosts-of-yesterday","subtitle":"","title":"Ghosts of Yesterday"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"TRV026130","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Haunted Places & Mysteries","score":0.7967,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"FIC031070","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Supernatural Thrillers","score":0.7813,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"FIC009040","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Fantasy Anthologies","score":0.7733,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"TRV026130","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Haunted Places & Mysteries","score":0.7967,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"FIC031070","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Supernatural Thrillers","score":0.7813,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"FIC009040","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Fantasy Anthologies","score":0.7733,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"FIC009050","confidence_band":"high","label":"Paranormal Fantasy","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"FIC009060","confidence_band":"high","label":"Urban Fantasy","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"FIC048000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Urban Fiction","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Haunted Places & Mysteries","score":0.7967,"slug":"haunted-places-mysteries"},{"label":"Supernatural Thrillers","score":0.7813,"slug":"supernatural-thrillers"},{"label":"Fantasy Anthologies","score":0.7733,"slug":"fantasy-anthologies"}],"reader_fit":["Readers drawn to realistic portraits with a sense of wonder"],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Anita Krishan"],"book_id":"9789389717136","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9789389717136.jpg?v=434c2e6bee4468e9","score":0.7512,"title":"Ghosts of the Silent Hills","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9789389717136"},{"authors":["Clay Chapman","Clay McLeod Chapman"],"book_id":"9781683693789","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781683693789.jpg?v=3a38be16b60eadc0","score":0.745,"title":"Ghost Eaters","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781683693789"},{"authors":["George Mann"],"book_id":"9781616141943","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781616141943.jpg?v=69380067b53906b4","score":0.7445,"title":"Ghosts of Manhattan","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781616141943"},{"authors":["Catherine Belsey"],"book_id":"9781474417365","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781474417365.jpg?v=3e669b6139f5d9ae","score":0.7436,"title":"Tales of the Troubled Dead","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781474417365"},{"authors":["William Hope Hodgson","Jeremy Lassen"],"book_id":"9781597804424","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781597804424.jpg?v=06cb494cfbc1858f","score":0.7411,"title":"Ghost Pirates and Others","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781597804424"},{"authors":["Joe Hill"],"book_id":"9780063374935","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780063374935.jpg?v=af16165b3477c676","score":0.737,"title":"20th Century Ghosts","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780063374935"},{"authors":["Shirley Jackson","Ottessa Moshfegh"],"book_id":"9780143132004","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780143132004.jpg?v=2b197cda68d6573a","score":0.7259,"title":"Dark Tales","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780143132004"}],"topics":[{"evidence_refs":["keyword:family secrets haunting"],"label":"Family","score":0.0921,"slug":"family"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:halloween 1942 ghost"],"label":"Halloween","score":0.047,"slug":"halloween"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:roadside ghost tales"],"label":"Tales","score":0.0253,"slug":"tales"},{"evidence_refs":["phrase_map_match"],"label":"Short Stories","score":0.0216,"slug":"short-story"}],"what_you_get":["Themes: American places and regions, Wonder within realistic portraits.","Themes: Family, Halloween, Tales.","Reading lane: Haunted Places & Mysteries and Supernatural Thrillers."]},"llm_signals":{"confidence":0.82,"pacing":"unknown","reader_fit":["Readers drawn to realistic portraits with a sense of wonder"],"themes":["American places and regions","Wonder within realistic portraits"],"tropes":[]},"source_presence":{"amazon":true,"book_detail":true,"goodreads":true,"llm_signals":true,"similarity_seed":true},"stats":{"amazon_ratings_count":0,"goodreads_ratings_count":30,"goodreads_reviews_count":6,"quality_score":0.8477}}
